Bears cornerback Charles Tillman (No. 49 on the Hot 100), Bengals offensive tackle Anthony Collins (No. 50) and Packers center Evan Dietrich-Smith (No. 92) are among the unrestricted free agents to have visited with Tampa Bay. Patriots reserve linebacker Dane Fletcher also has met with the Buccaneers, the club confirmed on its website.

Fletcher, Tillman, Collins and Dietrich-Smith had all previously been linked to Tampa Bay in various media reports.

The Bucs also announced that Panthers wide receiver/returner Ted Ginn had visited, which appears to be a bit of new free agency news. Ginn, 28, hauled in 36 passes for 556 yards and five TDs for Carolina in 2013. Ginn is also an accomplished kickoff and punt returner, with six career return TDs to his credit.

From everything I’ve seen, winning free agency is how you win in the NFL (except for last year with the Dolphins…and the year before that with the Bucs…and the year before that with the Eagles…and the year before that with the Redskins…)
